Now, with the remarkable recor1 Of our
little Red Cross Hospital before us, we
ought to move with understanding 10 the
development Of the volunteer National
Guard, which our government is wisely
fostering. The military duties which we
propose to teach our young men, In their
annual state encampments, are of no greater
Importance than are lessons in the care OF
the sick and OF the wounded. And we
earnestly commend this matter to the at
tention of our state military authorities.
When certain men, moved by the suffer
ings that spring from war, met in conven-
tlon at Geneva, Switzerland, they formu-
lated hospital system which embodied the
best features Of the several European estab-
llshments. Nation after nation has sub
scribtd to this convention until now all OF
Europe and the United States are enrolled
under its banner-the Red Cross.
Let this magnificent system, which marks
a sure advance In civilization, be thoroughly
engrafted into the plan Of organization for
our National Guard. The American Red
Cross Association will supply information
upon application. We learn with pleasure
that the adiutant general and several state
governors are already movlngi In the matter

The marriages and divorces, which have gone
upon the Sprague family record In Rhode Island
during the last few years. will tend to confuse
The mind Of the geneaogtst Of the future. In the
natural order Of things a son may be expected to
admire his father, and TO initiate him as far as
practicable. II is therefore, not surprising that
Master Willie Sprague, who fought his sires bat
ties at Canonchet with q popgun, should have
chosen his first wife from the same family from
which the father got his second; but 1t was not
so much Of a matter, OF course, that he should
carry the analogy further by repenting Of his FIRST
marriage, and trying TO release himself from its
bonds What the youngest will DO next is the
question. To have been brother-in-law to his
father, and nephew by marriage to his own wife,
ought 20 satisfy the ambition OF the most ardent
seeker for novelties In relationship; but there ID
nothing In the world, 50 far as Is known, TO pre-
vent Master Willie from climbing out on another
branch Of the family Tree, and setting up as an
uncle TO bis stepmother, or grandfather to him
self, or something else equally paradoxical and
peculiar.

Kentucky deserves good marx for the rapid

The other pleaded guilty, and, In one hour from

him In which TO prepare for the gaIlows. These
were the men whom Louisville mob proposed to
take away from the sheriff and hang to tree.
How much more impressive the calm course OF or.

The west is "booming." There has been q
surprising increase In business transactions AT
Cincinnati clearings show an increase Of az pei
cent over last year; at st. Louis Is per cent, and
at Chicago L. while St Paul and San Francisco
report gains Of AZ per cent; Memphis, st. Joseph,
Peoria, exceeding so per cent: Indianapolis and
Denver nearly so per cent; Omaha I02 per cent
and Wichita, Kas, ITO per cent. There is much
speculation in real estate, and healthful condi-
ton Of trade Is reported TO exist almost un1ver-
sally. According to commercial reports In the
west, the Interstate act, though checking trade
at some important points seems to have produced
feeling OF extraordinary confidence In much
larger number OF towns. 1t Is comforting to be
thus informed, Indirectly, that there are nom
competitive as well as competitive points In every
section OF the country, and TO learn that the great
west Is Lot tumbling bodily into the pit OF de-
Struction towards which the railroads In order to

ble This test OF tncapacity in the clerks is fully
as scientific and satisfactory as that provided by
